Hello everyone, recently I've been getting a lot of questions asking how exactly to get ASFR related weapons and scenes set up properly. My old guide is not working for some, so this is thread is made to offer a step by step guide on how to accomplish the things seen on the Game ASFR Youtube channel, and hopefully inspire others to try to create their own scenes and scenarios.

I apologize for another Garry's Mod related thread, but with hundreds of models and maps to try and new ones added every week, the game is just too damn good for ASFR fans. Let's begin. Please read each section carefully.

There are a number of things you will need to get this to work properly. Below I list all of the existing mods and steps with links you will need to take before anything is done in-game. These are all through Steam.

After downloading the zip file, extract its contents. You will see a folder called "cannons"Move this entire folder to the following location:

Steam\SteamApps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\addons

Now, within your 'addons' folder should be the 'cannons' folder. Once you have done this, you will have new weapons available in-game. There is a Cryo Cannon, Golden Cannon, Ice Cannon, Jade Cannon, Medusa Cannon, and Stone Cannon.

If you have done all of these things then you're finished with part one!

Check your Weapons tab to ensure the ASFR guns are there. These are the guns that NPCs will be able to select and use on you:http://imgur.com/Bjbgbzc

Navigate to your NPCS tab and look at your options. Here is where you can visually see the NPC to use your gun:http://imgur.com/4PQvKNP

On the right side, scroll through your Tools tab towards the bottom to find "NPC Spawn Creator" Here you will set up the NPC using your gun. Select them from the list, then select their gun from the Equipment box:

* Do not select the Midas Cannon! You must select "Midas' Golden Cannon" original one will not work!

Below, check out the other options and set them accordingly. The 'Turn Off' and 'Turn On' options will help you set up multiple NPCs on a stage without them trying to freeze you. After spawning each NPC, immediately press your 'Turn Off' key, and after placing all NPCs on your map, press the 'Turn On' key and they will all spawn at the same time in their respective places.

The last step to setting up an NPC is to set their relationship with the Player, or Citizen (other NPCS):http://imgur.com/WNebZki

Click on 'Add Relationship' and search for 'Player'. Then, set the Disposition to 'Hate' this means that the NPC will attack the player on sight. Again, this can be set to hate other NPCs as well, and they will try to freeze each other:http://imgur.com/w0mXdxk

You can save NPCs you've created for quicker access through multiple stages and setups. To do this, scroll to the top of the spawn creator and click the save disk icon. You then name the NPC and can select them from the dropdown for easy spawning next time:Naming NPC - http://imgur.com/NtIHDdZSelecting Saved NPC - http://imgur.com/aCdF9RS

Now with the NPC Spawn Creator tool selected, point where you want the NPC to spawn. NPC will always spawn facing the direction you were when you spawned it:NPC Spawn Point - http://imgur.com/CisiTVANPC is Spawned - http://imgur.com/N1zCdoo

Now go to your 'More Materials' tool, and explore the different materials you can turn your model into. For this example, we'll use Gold. Point and left click to shoot the ragdolls and make them statues:http://imgur.com/oUMJ9J4

Part 4: Creating / Modifying ASFR GunsIf you want to modify a weapon, or create a new one, you will need to do the following and edit the files, this step may be a bit advanced for some.

Step 1After you've downloaded my ASFR Guns pack above, open it and navigate to the "weapons" folder within it. "cannons>lua>weapons"

In this folder, if you'd like to create a new weapon, copy and paste another folder, such as "weapon_medusa" and rename it to whatever else, such as "weapon_chocolate"

Step 2Open the folder and you'll see a file called "shared.lua" open it with a text editor. You can use Notepad, but I'd recommend Notepad++

Once you're in, you'll see a few fields you can edit. You can edit the name on the first line, and the Category, Author, Description, and Instructions in lines 6 - 9.

Step 3Line 33 contains the color and slight hue of the texture. If its ice, it should be more blue, stone should be gray, ect. Chocolate should be brown of course. The colors are RGB numbers, you can find color pickers and numbers for RGB on various websites.

Step 4Important step! On line 129, you will replace the line in quotes with a link to the texture you want to use. If you navigate back to the addons folder, and if you downloaded the More Materials pack I linked above, find the "more_materials__105841291.gma" file and open it in a text editor. It will contain links to all materials used in that pack. (you can of course open other material packs too) Copy and paste the full link in place of the existing link within the quotation marks.

Step 5That's it! You now have a new weapon to use! Go in and test to make sure that the colors and material is what you want. You can view materials with the material tool within the game, and you can use it on ragdolls to see their effect.

Known Issues!

- Not every ragdoll / model you find in the Steam workshop is going to work properly with these weapons. Sometimes the model and physics break when an ASFR weapon is used on them. - The original "Midas Cannon" cannot be used by NPCs, only "Midas' Golden Cannon"- NPCs that are turned on, may not be able to be turned off.- If you save a game with NPCs that use ASFR guns, loading the game will result in all of them being unarmed. This is why sharing saves won't give the same outcome.- Sometimes the camera will shake in 3rd person after being frozen.

That's all folks, hopefully this is easier to understand and use. I encourage everyone to try if you haven't!

EDIT: Download Petrify CannonHere is a new cannon based on the Medusa Cannon that will have a slightly lighter, more stone texture to it. It is what was used in the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmOFJJ8nSMk

Extract the folder, and add it to where the other ASFR guns are located: cannons > lua > weapons
